Name
[edit]The names of "Shufu County" and nearby "Shule County", transliterations of local language names from the Han dynasty corresponds to its Uyghur names, "Kona Xahar" (meaning 'old city'[1]) and "Yengi Xahar" (New City) respectively. The names for the two counties in both languages may share their origins in languages of the Saka people, residents of Kashgar area before its linguistic Turkification in as late as the 11th century.[5]

In 1762, the Qing government in Kazuo relocated to Kashgar Gaer City (present-day Kashgar City), situated two miles northwest of the newly established "Leining City".[6] In 1826, Leining City was destroyed. In 1828, a new city was constructed,[1] relocating the Shule government, military, and warehouses to this new city.[7] A governor was appointed to oversee it, designating it as Shule County, commonly referred to as the new city or Han City.[8] The original Shule County was renamed Shufu County, which is the adjacent city of Shule, typically called the old city or Back City.[9][10]
In the fall of 1955, the county people's government relocated to the town of Tokezak, marking the establishment of the new county town.[11]
